Puzzle Time - Chess

@jon-nyc correct!! (Though I think the rook and queen could be reversed and the answer would still be the same)

Maybe this is my favorite chess problem. Maybe the hardest mate in one that I have seen. It is just check mate in one, so It can not be so difficult... but it is!!

I do really love it because it can take more than 10 minutes to solve it.Some years ago we made a chess book for kids and we included some satanic chess problems as this one.
Leonid Kubel is the author of this problem. -
It might help if you said which side is to move. Assuming white, d7-d8=Queen

When I saw that I started this forum thread 4 years ago, I was going to be sure that @George-K was the one who rose it from the dead. 555

@Doctor-Phibes Chess problems are always white to move. If it takes about 10 minutes to solve, you can be sure it is not an easy move.
